This, I think is the hardest I've ever worked on a piece before :D

Around 7 hours over 3 days, Enjoy!

Made with 2A03+N163

(edited because I realized I should take the old file down and put the new one up in it's place lololol)

Why did you use only triangle waves for the N163?

Alert! Alert! Criticism incoming!

1. The progression seems to be one of those starting-on-C things that are way too overused

2. Try a little more wave variation and volume control with the N163

3. Seems a bit repetitive

Don't be discouraged though; this isn't a terrible piece by any stretch of the imagination, it just could really improve on certain things.

@jrlepage Because I'm stupid and lazy and don't want to figure out N163 while writing something and chancing me not wanting to finish the song (I do that alot) I intend to experiment more soon :P
Edit: oh wow I never saw that second tab... *headdesk*

@zephemeros 1. Yeah, started out as an experiment and I decided to try my best to build on it, hence the minor shift and key change
2. (see above)
3. I tend to like repetition too much, it's something I'm trying hard to overcome.

Thanks for the feedback <3

Hello,

Regarding the repetition at the beginning, I'd suggest replacing the four shorter phrases with two longer ones (with more variety in the chords, perhaps).

I actually like what you did with the triangles in the Namco channels for this particular piece; it reminds me of an in-studio videotaped sci-fi soundtrack from the 1950s.

And finally, if you would like to get rid of the pop at the end, you could try adding a series of Zxx commands that count down to Z00 (see attachment).

Hey Pancho,

I'm considering on what to do in the beginning now, the variety on chords might be a good idea...

I think I will switch some of the Namco Tri's for some Saw, and maybe some pulse, and I think I will ditch the 4 note chords in the beginning/middle section, and add a stronger bass or something, and the ending I'm intending to rewrite, but thanks for pointing out that pop, I didn't even notice it :o

Huzzah, I finished the changes!

Please tell me what you guys think of it now, better or worse?

Thanks so much for all the ideas, I really enjoyed working on this (even if no one likes it :P)

I seriously would see this in an Earthbound styled game for sure. It's goofy and pretty kool actually. I enjoyed it!
